摘要
We present a determination of the Hubble constant, H-0, from measurements of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect in an orientation-unbiased sample of seven z<0.1 galaxy clusters. With improved X- ray models and a more accurate 32 GHz calibration, we obtain H-0 = 64(-11)(+14) +/- 14(sys) km s(-1) Mpc(-1) for a standard cold dark matter (CDM) cosmology, or H-0 = 66(-11)(+14) +/- 15(sys) km s(-1) Mpc(-1) for a flat Lambda CDM cosmology. In combination with X-ray cluster measurements and the big bang nucleosynthesis value for Omega (B), we find Omega (M).
